Description

Thames Valley Berkshire LEP is holding an event to promote the latest round of grant funding from the Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE) with grant funding available to Berkshire businesses, in the tourism and rual business development sectors, totalling £720,000.

The RDPE provides funding for projects in England which create jobs and growth in the rural economy.

Two grant funds are available: Rural Business Development Grants and Rural Tourism Infrastructure Grants.

For rural business development grants, applications are being sought for projects that will grow a business, create jobs or bring more money in to the rural economy. Grant funding can help pay for constructing or improving buildings, and buying new equipment and machinery.

Rural tourism infrastructure grants will help fund the costs of capital expenditure on tourism infrastructure. The aim is to support projects that will encourage more tourists to come, to stay longer, and to spend more money in rural areas.

This event is aimed at businesses and intermediaries who want to find out more about the grants and to gain a clear understanding of how to apply, eligibility criteria, and other sources of fundingsuch as LEADER and Countryside Productivity.

If you have any questions about the event please contact Tim Parry at tim.parry@ccberks.org.uk or call 01189612000
